Definitions

  • the invention concerns a virtual painting system, more specifically to a virtual painting system for simulating a paint application process and the resulting application of paint to a surface.
  • the prior art offers two possibilities, namely, the preparation of actual sample paint treatments or the simulation of a paint treatment by means of a computer-aided drawing and painting software.
  • the conventional means of preparing sample paint treatments consists of applying the desired paint treatments with an actual paint spray gun onto the surfaces of actual objects, which naturally achieves the original representation of the different coat of paints.
  • the drawback here is that a sample piece must be prepared for each coat of paint, so as to compare the different coats of paint to each other.
  • This method is costly and cumbersome.
  • the painting process itself is costly and time-consuming, since the surfaces of the objects first must be prepared for the painting, and the paint or enamel must dry after each coat of paint. It is difficult, if not impossible, to correct mistakes during the painting.
  • paint, enamel, and environmentally harmful cleaning agents are consumed during these sample paint treatments.
  • the painted objects are destroyed or, if destined for recycling, the paint must be removed from them in a costly manner, thereby entailing the use of cleaning agents that are harmful to human health and the environment.
  • the desired spray painting can be simulated with computer-assisted painting and drawing software on a conventional data processing system.
  • the simulation of the painting or enameling task is done with conventional computer input devices, such as a computer mouse or computer drawing pen, and the display appears on the monitor of the data processing system.
  • the colors and shapes of the painting or enameling task are set by software in the drawing and painting program, so that the visual display of the painting will appear as close as possible to an actual painting task using a manually operated paint spray gun.
  • the problem of the present invention is therefore to provide a painting system as well as a paint spray gun that enable a fast, resource-, health- and environment-sparing and, at the same time realistic representation of a painting process using a paint spray gun.
  • the virtual painting system and the paint applicator device of the invention it is possible to detect the spatial position of the paint applicator device with respect to the paint application surface and transmit this data to a data processing unit, and to convert the data, using the detected parameters such as distance and speed, and possibly other settings of the spray jet, into video data in the data processing unit and display them on a display device for the depiction of the virtual paint application.
  • the virtual painting task with the paint applicator device can be depicted on the display device in a realistic manner and in real time.
  • the spray parameters which can be set for the paint applicator device can be set in a conventional manner and detected by a setting device arranged on the paint applicator and transmitted to the data processing unit.
  • a color selection device makes it possible to change the properties of the paint or enamel being sprayed by the paint applicator device directly on the paint applicator device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a virtual painting system with a data processing unit 7 , a virtual paint applicator device 1 , a position detection 5 , 6 and a display device.
  • the virtual paint applicator device in the embodiment shown here is formed by a known paint spray gun 1 with a spray channel through which the paint or enamel located in a reservoir 2 arranged on the paint spray gun is sprayed via a nozzle 3 onto the surface being painted during the actual paint spraying.
  • the quantity of compressed air flowing through the spray channel is controlled by setting a micrometer on the paint spray gun 1 and the position of a trigger 4 , which is manipulated by the user of the paint spray gun 1 .
  • the paint spray gun 1 instead of the paint spray gun 1 , other devices can also be used to simulate application of paint.
  • the virtual paint spray gun 1 need only simulate an actual paint spray gun as much as possible, especially in terms of its size, geometry, weight, etc.
  • the paint spray gun 1 In order to employ the paint spray gun 1 in the virtual painting system of the invention for the simulation of an actual paint application process and the resulting painting without actual paint application, and to depict as realistically as possible and in real time the performed paint application with the paint spray gun 1 on a projection disk 10 , the position of the trigger 4 and the position and motion of the paint spray gun 1 relative to the projection disk 10 are detected and transmitted to the data processing unit 7 for calculation of the video data for the visual representation of the virtual paint application process on the projection disk 10 .
  • the paint spray gun 1 is configured as described hereafter.
  • a trigger indicator is arranged on the paint spray gun 1 . It detects whether the trigger 4 is activated, and furthermore it preferably detects the precise position of the trigger 4 , so that not only the settings “spray channel fully open” and “spray channel closed,” but also intermediate positions can be detected.
  • the position detection 5 , 6 has a cylindrical ultrasound receiver 5 , which is arranged at the outlet opening of the spray nozzle 3 and whose longitudinal axis coincides with the direction of the paint spray that emerges when the paint spray gun 1 is used in the conventional manner.
  • the position detection 5 , 6 also comprises an ultrasound emitter 6 , arranged stationary relative to the projection disk 10 , which sends position signals to the ultrasound receiver 5 .
  • the ultrasound emitter 6 is connected by a first data line 8 to the data processing unit 7 and is actuated by the latter to send position signals to the ultrasound receiver 5 .
  • ultrasound emitter 6 is connected to the data processing unit 7 . It is also possible to use signal techniques other than ultrasound, such as infrared or radio signals.
  • the data processing unit 7 uses the control data sent by the data processing unit 7 to the ultrasound emitter 6 and the position signals received from the ultrasound receiver 5 .
  • the data processing unit 7 computes the precise spatial position of the paint spray gun 1 relative to the projection disk 10 .
  • the data processing unit 7 can compute the motion of the paint spray gun 1 in space from the position data, as well as the corresponding time data memorized in the data processing unit 7 .
  • a device for three-dimensional position detection such as that disclosed in WO 92/07346.
  • the trigger indicator arranged on the paint spray gun 1 transmits the position of the trigger 4 to the data processing unit 7 .
  • the second data line 9 is also used to relay the paint application parameters which have been set on the setting device of the paint spray gun 1 , such as the spray pressure, geometry of the paint spray, and the color settings which have been set on the color selection device of the paint spray gun 1 , to the data processing unit 7 , where they are used to calculate the video data.
  • the spray paint and the paint application data can also be set, in an alternative embodiment not shown here, on the display device or the data processing unit 7 , for example, by means of keyboard entry or a touch screen.
  • the display device comprises a projection apparatus 11 and a projection disk 10 , whose front end facing the paint spray gun 1 serves as the paint application surface 10 a for the virtual painting by means of the paint spray gun 1 .
  • the projection disk 10 is designed as a back projection disk, so that an image projected from behind onto the projection disk 10 is visible on its front end, i.e., the paint application surface 10 a .
  • the projection apparatus 11 is connected via a third data line 12 to the data processing unit 7 , in order to use the video data calculated by the latter to project a representation of the virtual paint application onto the back side 10 b of the projection disk 10 in real time.
  • another means of display can also be used, such as a high-resolution, wide-area monitor, whose display surface then represents the virtually painted surface 10 a.
  • the virtual application of paint with the spray gun 1 on the surface to be painted 10 a occurs as follows: the spray gun 1 user sets the necessary spray parameters on the spray gun 1 , as in the case of an actual painting task, such as the spray pressure or the geometry of the spray jet. He then carries out the virtual paint spraying on the surface to be painted 10 a , making use of the paint spray gun 1 as in an actual painting job.
  • data relayed from the paint spray gun 1 to the data processing unit 7 i.e., the spatial position of the paint spray gun 1 relative to the projection disk 10 , position of the trigger 4 , as well as the paint selected at the paint spray gun 1 and the spray parameters, are used to calculate in the data processing unit 7 the visual representation of the application of paint to the front end of the projection disk 10 in real time, corresponding to the actual painting job.
  • reference data records are kept in a data memory of the data processing unit 7 , containing reference video data for different sets of spray parameters for the virtual paint applicator device 1 .
  • the data processing unit 7 then relays the calculated video data via the third data line 12 to the projection apparatus 11 , which projects the representation of the paint application onto the back side 10 b of the back projection disk 10 in real time.
  • the user of the paint spray gun 1 immediately sees the very realistic outcome of his virtual application of paint on the front side of the back projection disk 10 .
  • the virtual painting system of the invention and the paint applicator device of the invention make it possible to train painters in the use of paint application devices without wasting paint, enamel, cleaning agents or painted objects.
  • the virtual paint spray process can also be interrupted at any time, since the virtual paint application is merely stored in the data processing unit 7 and the interrupted paint spray process can be continued later by simply loading the memorized data once again.
  • the painter can also paint in the usual manner by using an actual paint spray gun, so that the outcome of the virtual painting process comes extremely close to reality. All effects which are achievable by the manual operation of the paint spray gun can therefore be carried out and be appropriately simulated and displayed in the display device. Furthermore, the painter can evaluate and be shown deviations from the ideal values, such as the ideal spray distance and spray angle, which have an influence on the painted surfaces.
